Exercise 9

Pages 67-73 (74). Turn in pages 71-74

Answer all questions including the critical thinking question

YOU MUST USE COLORED PENCILS WHEN DRAWING TISSUES

Look at the following list of slides. You can share slides so that you do not have to focus each of these.

(i.e. 4 people work together, each one picks a slide and you rotate around microscopes. However each person has to have a microscope)

You must include the following labels for the following structures (see page 72-73)

areolar tissue	adipose tissue	reticular connective tissue	regular dense connective	elastic connective tissue
fibroblast cell elastic fibers collagen fibers	fat storage area nucleus	white blood cell collagen fibers	fibroblast collagen fibers	elastic fibers collagen fibers

hyaline cartilage	elastic cartilage	fibrocartilage	bone	blood
lacuna condrocyte cell extracellular matrix	lacuna condrocyte cell elastic fibers extracellular matrix	lacuna condrocyte cell collagen fibers	osteon central canal	Extracellular matrix Red blood cell

2. Draw pictures of all of these tissues listed on pages 72-73. Use the images on pages 68-69 to guide you. Higher magnification is needed to be able to identify these tissues. Fill in the 2 lines beneath the graphic. Arrows are required. (Points will be removed for graphics that are not labeled and are not in colored pencil)

3. For the practical be able to:

Identify the tissues in the above table

Identify generally where they are found

Identify generally where they are found

Describe what they do.

Note: There is a difference between elastic tissue and elastic cartilage. Check your slide.
